Mains Choke for Drive Input — 3-Phase, 500 V, 200 A
It carries a rated voltage of 500 V AC and a maximum continuous current of 200 A at 50 Hz, with an operational current rating of 180 A. Rated inductance is 0.000091 H (91 µH). The choke is wound for thermal class H per IEC 60085, which means the insulation system is rated for a 180 °C hot-spot temperature — a necessary margin when the choke shares an enclosure with a drive that dumps heat into the panel. Total power loss breaks down as 140 W in the coil and 41 W in the iron core at rated load, so the panel cooling budget needs to absorb about 181 W from this component alone. The IP00 protection class means it is an open-frame component — no enclosure, no drip shield. The main-circuit connection uses flat-type terminals, which are common on larger Siemens chokes and accept busbar or cable lug terminations.
This part is classified at a mature lifecycle stage. It remains in the current Siemens catalog as an active order code. The part carries UL and CSA recognition per EN 61558-2-20, which covers the safety of chokes and reactors — a requirement for panels that must pass a North American inspection.
The choke measures 0.225 m wide by 0.21 m tall by 0.176 m deep. These are the envelope dimensions for cabinet layout; the flat-type terminals project from the face, so allow additional clearance for busbar routing and cable bend radius. The 3-phase design and 50 Hz operating frequency are fixed — this is not a 60 Hz derating case, so verify line frequency before specifying.
